Customers can raise a ticket by clicking on the “Create ticket” tab on the header.

- Internal Note- If the agent wants to save certain important information related to the ticket, then the agent can use an internal note. This will not be visible to the customers.
- Forward- With this agent can assign the ticket to any other agent.
Now, once the agent has replied to the ticket, the ticket status will change depending on the mapping done by the admin.
Go to “Answered” status & you’ll find that ticket there. Click on the ticket ID to view the details. If the agent selects an “Internal Note” from”Select reply type”.
If the agent select “Forward” from”Select reply type”.
